Summer in Ferrara
Like every year, the heat has arrived in Ferrara and we are ready to do our best to beat it. During the hot summer days, the best thing is to take refuge in a cool environment, such as a museum or a cloister to discover the city's history, and concentrate outdoor activities during the evening hours, when the temperature drops a few degrees.

Summer in Ferrara - story of a riverside beach
Once upon a time, when it was very hot, people used to go to the Giarina (a beach on the river Po equipped as a bathing establishment that became the setting for perfect summer days). The Giarina was located along the course of the river in the section that passed through Pontelagoscuro. Here young people and families would gather during summer days to seek some fresh air, enjoy an excellent picnic lunch together and get kissed by the sun's rays.
Today the meeting point remains along the river but has moved to another spot: along the Darsena di San Paolo.
Summer in Ferrara - the Darsena of San Paolo
Recently redeveloped at the centre of an urban planning project to bring city life back to the river, the Darsena di San Paolo is part of the characteristic Quartiere Giardino.
Summer is the perfect time to fully experience the magic of this charming place: at sunset, when the sun paints the skies in warm shades, this area is transformed into a panorama to be immortalised. Food stalls and refreshment points are spread out along the river and musical events are often scheduled.
A walk along the Darsena becomes a true journey of the senses, allowing you to discover the authentic flavours of Ferrara's tradition.
The Darsena is also the ideal starting point for venturing out on exciting river cruises. The river boat 'La Nena' has been satisfying this desire for years.
